On the weekends when I'm home with M I make noodle soup a lot lot because she loves it. I always save leftover broth in a quart container. Add noodles and whatever veggie or protein I have leftover. Quick, easy, cheap and perfect in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1366360 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:35:24 +0000 Running Elley 1366360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually eat leftovers. I'm dairy and grain free so that's how I make our dinners and I make enough for me to eat the next day. If I don't have leftovers I make a smoothie (almond milk, ice, mixed fruit, half a banana, spinach and half a scoop of protein powder). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1366343 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:28:32 +0000 looch 1366343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like a hot lunch, my lunch is usually the biggest meal of my day, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1366338 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:25:43 +0000 Ash 1366338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually leftovers from dinner the night before. </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: gonna look into those burritos since I'm dairy free now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1366335 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:24:56 +0000 Boheme 1366335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat a lot of mason jar salads - I make 4 every Sunday and eat them Monday-Thursday. Squishy stuff like tomatoes on the bottom, crunchy stuff like lettuce on the top. I pour a tbsp of dressing in, shake it up, and then dump it on a plate. Plus leftovers, usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1366325 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:19:26 +0000 Blueberry 1366325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have a spinach salad with bacon or chicken for protein. I top it with tomatoes and cucumbers and tomato basil dressing. I'll have laughing cow cheese with crackers and a piece of fruit. I make two lunches ahead of time so I can stick to the script. I will eat soup and toast when I take a break from the salads. I am not a health nut by any means but I'm trying to eat better. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365620 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:35:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1365620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amy's organic, dairy-free black bean and rice burritos with guacamole on the side<br /> Hummus and carrots<br /> Green smoothies (my fave is pear, kiwi, spinach, and coconut milk)<br /> Roasted broccoli or brussel sprouts<br /> Refried beans and tortilla chips<br /> Pita bread pizza (before I was dairy-free)<br /> Salad with blackened chicken on top (spring greens, carrots, craisins, almonds, fruity vinaigrette dressing and hot chicken) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365615 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:32:39 +0000 Anagram 1365615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat the same things over and over---sandwiches or soup for lunch. But then I feel like it's a special treat when I have good leftovers from dinner the night before to eat.</p> <p>haha. my eating life is sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365610 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:31:28 +0000 Smurfette 1365610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Salad, wrap with turkey and spinach, sandwich, I am pretty boring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365599 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:26:21 +0000 lawbee11 1365599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I do make my own. I only use eggs, mayo, mustard, salt &amp; pepper. I don't like crunchy stuff in my egg salad. I used to hardboil and peel my own eggs, then I discovered my grocery store sells hard-boiled eggs that are already peeled, so this saves me tons of time. I basically just chop up 2 eggs and put them in a bowl. I add a big dollop of mayo (I use the Kraft kind made with olive oil, so it's a little healthier) and just a small squeeze of yellow mustard. Mix it up and add a pinch of salt and pepper. The amount of mayo and mustard I add isn't an exact science--I kinda just add enough til the consistency looks right. </p> <p>I am totally incompetent in the kitchen, so I am confident you can do this if I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365589 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:23:43 +0000 SupernovaJ 1365589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually bring a large tub of yogurt to work to put in the fridge. other snacks i have in my office include Kind bars, peanut butter powder, mixed nuts (both to throw in the yogurt). Lunch will usually be a small sandwich on a whole wheat english muffin, boiled eggs, some type of salad and soup. pretty simple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365576 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:20:19 +0000 MrsSCB 1365576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: It's also SUPER easy to whip up, which is a definite plus in my book :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365564 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:15:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1365564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: that sounds awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365558 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:12:27 +0000 sandy 1365558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @Kimberlybee: do you make your own egg salad? Can you share your recipe? I know it's probably so simple but it just doesn't taste good when I make it and I love egg salad sandwiches. </p> <p>I eat a lot of rotisserie chicken and a salad or rice on the side. Boring but I like it. I eat cheese and fruit with prosciutto a lot too. I'm trying to cut carbs so I don't eat a lot of pasta but that used to be a favorite </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365532 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:55:29 +0000 Kimberlybee 1365532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat chicken salad, egg salad, or tuna salad sandwiches very often, I just switch up the bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365530 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:54:20 +0000 mfa_lady 1365530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look up cold salads on foodgawker and make a whole batch for the week - I just made a winter veggie salad with farro for this week (actually is supposed to be warm but I tried it cold and it's delish), and sometimes in the summer I do a greek orzo salad. It's awesome because you can use the salad for family side dishes at night, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365516 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:49:51 +0000 MrsSCB 1365516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally make myself lunch at home (my work day starts at 1 p.m.) I've recently been into roasting sweet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, red peppers, brussels sprouts and chicken sausage. I'll just toss it all in a little olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I'll add smoked paprika for some different flavor. I also like to top with sriracha sauce. Sometimes I leave out the chicken sausage and top the roasted veggies with a fried egg. Yummy and filling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365513 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:48:33 +0000 babycanuck 1365513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>leftovers from dinner mostly, or salad of baby greens, strawberries, avocado, sunflower seeds and dressing of 1/2 balsamic, 1/2 maple syrup and some mustard </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365509 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:46:23 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1365509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing most days: Piece of chicken sausage, steamed veggies, and an apple or Greek yogurt.</p> <p>Boring, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365508 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:45:55 +0000 MrsH 1365508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandwich, soup, or dinner leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365504 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:43:09 +0000 lawbee11 1365504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Egg salad sandwich, Greek yogurt, baby carrots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365498 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:37:37 +0000 cmomma17 1365498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I agree that repeating the same lunch daily really makes everything easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-typically-eat-for-lunch-not-take-out#post-1365497 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:37:01 +0000 cmomma17 1365497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches and various other things on the side/ as snacks.
